title: [Lars Hertervig--the famous painter of landscapes and his mental disease].
abstract: Lars Hertervig (1830-1902) was a famous Norwegian landscape painter who developed a psychosis while a student at the Düsseldorfer school of painting. He was admitted to Gaustad Hospital at the age of 26 with symptoms which would now be suggestive of schizophrenia. Discharged after one and a half years he spent the rest of his life sheltered in private care in his home community. He produced his most famous art during this period, after his discharge from Gaustad. The article describes Hertervig's life history and the development of his mental disorder.
